gilmer: Price Is Right - Blue Ridge Mountains - 08/15/08 07:43 PM
The North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountain real estate market is primarily a second home, discretionary market. This fact alone could cause mountain properties to take longer to sell than properties in primary markets because a buyer who already owns a home must choose to spend money to buy a second home in an uncertain economy.
The overall real estate market (consisting of Fannin, Gilmer, Towns and Union Counties) is being called stable by some local appraisors. Have We Hit Bottom ? Well, we won't really know until prices start going up.
One of the challenges currently facing Realtors in assisting home sellers … (17 comments)

gilmer: Use Reason and Logic to Buy Real Estate in the Current Economy Edited - 03/01/08 03:38 AM
Ignore the news and tune out the chatter "the sky is falling" is easier said than done. If we are not in a recession, then we act like we are. We have allowed fear to become the overiding factor causing many to do nothing when it comes to investing in real estate. One should remember that real estate is a long term investment and has proven to be one of the best investments overall. Of course, there should be some skepticism and caution given the current outlook of our economy, but skepticism and caution should be tempered with reason and logic and not become out … (30 comments)
